Virtual fundraising
We are so thankful to everyone who has asked how they can support us during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you.
With social distancing likely to be in place for a while, we’ve listed some of the ways you can support us from home during this time – whether you’re an individual wanting to fundraise for us or a company wanting to donate, there’s a virtual fundraising idea for everyone:
- Donate to our coronavirus emergency appeal or set up a regular gift
- Ask your workforce to donate their daily commute or coffee to us if they’re currently working at home
- Host a virtual quiz (download our quiz questions to get started and email our Community Engagement Team to get a copy of the answers) or join the Akuma Beavers quiz that runs every couple of weeks in aid of us
- Follow in the footsteps of Ben, Josh, Alice, Robert, Amanda and many more by shaving, cutting or dying your hair!
- Set up a birthday fundraiser on Facebook in lieu of gifts
- Take part in a virtual balloon race
- Enjoy a peaceful early morning walk by signing up to our Virtual Sunrise Walk
- …or get a little more active by signing up to our Make Every Mile Count virtual challenge
- If you work at a solicitors, your company could donate unclaimed client funds to us
- Set up an online tribute fund in memory of a loved one
- Use our free will writing service – there’s of course no obligation to leave us a gift in your will, but we hope that you would consider it
These are just some of the ways you can support us virtually – please follow our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for more ideas or to tag us in what you’re doing.
Thank you for continuing to help us make every moment count during this challenging time. We are a lifeline to so many families, so we truly appreciate your support.
